Mario S. Yco, MD, FACS

“My interest in the field of medicine started while serving as a corpsman in the United States Navy. I was intrigued with reconstructive surgery because of its ability to change people’s lives for the better. After earning my medical degree, I completed internship training in internal medicine and residency training in both general surgery and otolaryngology/head and neck surgery, including facial plastic surgery. My goal is to provide my patients with the most knowledgeable, expert care available — and to combine that care with an eye for artistry. I do this by staying current with the latest developments in my field and maintaining membership in professional organizations.

“I am proud to offer you state-of-the-art procedures that can do more than give you a youthful, refreshed look. They can also change your life in ways you never thought possible, such as increased self-esteem and happiness. And my staff and I do it all with the highly personalized care that you want and deserve.”
